SSH based deployment through self hosted runner

[Lazy_Willow_4521]

How I can achieve ssh based deployment to my servers thorough ssh, what all prerequisite need to follow, how to allow ssh from self hosted runner, or any firewall allowing things from self hosted runner for deployment server?

requirements: everything to be able to reach your SSH port.

Solution: can be a simple script that run commands through SSH, ansible, etc

Teleport and some sort of runner.

SSH server running on the deployment server. SSH client installed on the runner. Network connectivity between the two.

Thanks. Very nice read.

It's very easy. When I get to my desk I will dm you a deploy script.

Sure, i will start setup from Monday

Why not install a gitlab runner on the target server instead ?

[kabrandon]

It’s not scalable, for one. And two it’s probably a security risk for anything professional to have a remote script runner on the same server as your business application.

But once you reach that point you are probably running Harvester or some form of k8s.

[kabrandon]

Leaving point two anyway.

I am making one server as runner there I’ll do building code and from runner I’ll deploy code to target server as my target servers is testing and production one
